President JoeBiden's summer bounce shows signs of fading ahead of midterm elections
As winter encroaches, people's attention is turning from their vacations and the start of the school year to next month's midterm elections, potentially to Biden and Democrats' detriment.Poll tightening in the fall is not a fixture on the election calendar, but it is a trend that has been noted during the past couple of years, according to Monmouth University Polling Institute Director Patrick Murray.
Biden's average approval rating is hovering at about 42%, while his disapproval is 52%, according to polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight. His disapproval is a slightly worse 53%, according to RealClearPolitics. A Monmouth poll Murray published this week, for example, found Biden's approval-disapproval at 38%-54%.
"Progressives of the Democratic Party became negative on him because they felt he wasn't pushing their agenda enough," he said."Progressives started coming back in the summer, based on the Supreme Court and abortion issue. ... By doing better with progressives, all of a sudden he started moving back up into the 40s."
Biden's"upside-down" polling and the prominence of the economy on the people's minds are"a ding" for Democrats, Suffolk University Political Research Center Director David Paleologos agreed. But he disagreed with Goeas on the importance of abortion to November's elections.
